## Headless Chrome experiments on Windows

Powershell and Python experiments with headless Chrome.

I thought this might be enlightening for others trying to get started. :rainbow:

This was practice for refactoring [xssmap](https://github.com/gingeleski/xssmap) to leverage headless Chrome.

## Powershell smoke test

```

cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application'

# Dump DOM to the screen

.\chrome.exe --headless --disable-gpu --enable-logging --dump-dom https://www.google.com/

# Save the page as a PDF

.\chrome.exe --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=C:\Temp\output.pdf https://www.google.com/

# Screenshot the page

.\chrome.exe --headless --disable-gpu --screenshot=C:\Temp\screenshot.png https://www.google.com/

```

## Run Python

First [download chromedriver.exe](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads) (>= v2.32) into the repo directory.

Then you can do the following from your prompt... and I recommend doing so [from a venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).

```

pip install -r requirements.txt

python chrome_test.py

```
